Melpomene's Tears Poems

O chocolate, my chocolate!
thou art truly the food of Gods
with tempting shapes and flavors
thy center a gooey warm paradise of caramel
...

The sun sets, his tired demeanor hidden
by mighty mountains
His loneliness colors the sky,
colors born from darkness and light,
...

I wander thru 
Waiting and learning
Wondering and searching
Staying afloat in the sea that is life
...

Amongst ancient castle walls
Diamonds of dew drops from emerald moss
Her sweet perfume clings to the cold air
Under the moonlit sky
...

Bloodied fingers, numb to the bone
Plucking tender greens, stained red
Backs bent with weight of leaves and sorrow
Eyes unseeing, tears of blood blinding.
...

What lurks in your mind O troubled soul?
Who hides behind the dark drapes?
When the sun sets in your brain
Who comes out to play in the dark?
...

Let me go
Release my hand that held yours
thru sorrow and joy
desist from looking into my broken eyes
...

He breathes slowly
inhale, exhale
inhale, exhale
his heart slows down
...

Her temper echoed her name
Vibrant, angry and defiant
He was calm as a lake on a summer’s day
Soothingly cool, dangerously deep
...

What holds you back, you poor soul?
What keeps you awake at night?
You toss and turn on your bed
As if ghouls and goblins play in your head.
...
